ML Kessler & Co

ML Kessler & Co

Every day in Lima, Peru, skilled artisans and craftsmen bring their beautiful, hand-woven alpaca knitwear to M.L. Kessler’s marketplace, where this designer is a shining beacon of fair employment and fair trade in an economy in which talented workers are easily exploited. Not only are Kessler’s employees paid well above the national average, they also receive a percentage of the sales price for every product they produce. Working in environmentally safe buildings with clean bathrooms, running water and pleasant lounge facilities, these highly skilled workers weave centuries of tradition into every alpaca wool creation. When you wear an alpaca wool sweater or cape from M.L. Kessler, you are doing more than wrapping yourself in the luxury of one of the finest natural fibers known to man. You're helping make a difference in the world.

I can't believe how warm this sweater is -- especially since it weighs next to nothing! I love wool, but I have to admit the alpaca softness is pretty nice. The fit is loose, but elegant. This sweater looks great with fitted jeans or longer skirts. Very simple and comfortable!

I am a slender female with long limbs, typically Wmn's size 1,2 or 3. I ordered the Mens Medium after reading the reviews. The sleeve length was much too short for me, but otherwise fit very well (surprise!). This looks and feels expensive, and feels good on. Great Value!

The colors and pattern are beautiful. I would not hesitate to buy another product by this maker. The sweater is very well made with attention to details. It is unbelievably soft and comfy. I would have appreciated a zipper that also opened from the bottom so that the bottom could be opened when seated, but that is a small detail.
